I bullied my writing group, my coworkers and my former students about this today, and now I'm going to bully YOU to apply!

My apologies, my spam filter ate the email!

If you’re applying to both write and draw a story, absolutely submit three story pitches and include your portfolio in the information.

If you’re also comfortable illustrating someone else’s writing, you can apply as an artist as well.

Tieflings have found particular resonance in the queer ttrpg community. It feels like almost every queer D&D player has a tiefling OC!

We’re inviting creators to share personal stories through their tiefling avatars across a range of genres, including romance, action, sci-fi, comedy, and horror.

[PAID] Submissions are open for our queer Tiefling anthology "The New Hotness"!

Led by the gifted Shuster- and Eisner-winning @andrewwheeler.bsky.social, this will be our 12th anthology, and in many ways a spiritual sequel to our queer YA book "Shout Out!"

One time while travelling alone, I arrived in a city during a donut crawl and proceeded to go to ~6 different donut shops. It was the best way to get to know the place. This comic is like that but, like, way cuter! Also the art is traditional watercolours!
